Dogs show human-like language learning

Pooches, puppers, and doggos all refer to the same animal. Now, scientists have discovered that dogs themselves can make similar linguistic connections. A groundbreaking study from Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary suggests that dogs are capable of “label extension”—a process central to human language development. This is the same principle young children use. They learn that a ladle is just a big spoon. They also understand that “cup” can describe mugs, glasses, and flagons.https://indianf.com/dogs-understand-word-labels-study/
